My son is 3+ months now, he seems suffering from wind problem after breastfed. 2 weeks ago my wife had mastitis and he was fully on formula for a week as per doctor's advice. During the week he was well & seemed more settled, especially at night other than crying for mum's breast. Last week, after the treatment my wife resumes to breastfeeding and my lo started to cry a lot after feedings, and we could hear the wind in his tummy, he has also poo more often, yellow muddy with some lumps poo. My wife and I are so confused whether we should stop breastfeeding him.

It sounds like your son might be allergic to something in your wife's diet. Both dairy and gluten can be common causes. Are there any known diet issues in your families to give you a place to start? My son had dairy allergies, and would react to *any* dairy in my diet (so I got good at reading labels). He was much better after I made that change, though in his case we also needed reflux medicine as he was very bad. So definitely something to try if you'd like to continue breastfeeding.

However, modern formula milk is very good, so if you decide to use that rather than breastfeed it really is up to you. Your son will grow up healthy and loved regardless :)

I think it would be better if you take your baby to a Gp in your locality. What Mushroom said is true, ask your wife to check on her diet and then breastfeed.

Yeah really it's good if your baby is on mother feed then it's good.
